In situ preparation and luminescent properties of LaPO4:Ce3+, Tb3+ nanoparticles and transparent LaPO4:Ce3+, Tb3+/PMMA nanocomposite
LaPO4:Ce3+, Tb3+ nanoparticles were prepared by the reverse microemulsion with functional monomer, methyl methacrylate (MMA) as oil phase, and LaPO4:Ce3+, Tb3+/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposite was obtained via polymerization of MMA monomer. The nanoparticles and nanocomposite have been well characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV/vis spectrum, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra and luminescence decays. The obtained solid nanocomposite LaPO4:Ce3+, Tb3+/PMMA is highly transparent and exhibits strong green photoluminescence upon UV excitation, due to the integration of luminescent LaPO4:Ce3+, Tb3+ nanoparticles. The luminescent lifetime of Tb3+ is determined to be 1.25 ms in the nanocomposite. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
